"The editors have succeeded in putting together a wide-ranging monograph on developments in many of the most important, although clearly not all, areas of silicon chemistry during the last few years."<br /> <br /> Gerald Linti, Anorganisch-Chemisches Institut, Universität Heidelberg<br /> Angewandte Chemie + IE 2004 - 116/23<br />

<p><b>Peter Jutzi</b> is the author of <i>Silicon Chemistry: From the Atom to Extended Systems</i>, published by Wiley.</p> <p><b>Ulrich Schubert</b> has been Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at the Institute of Materials Chemistry, Vienna University of Technology, since 1994. He received his PhD from the Technical University of Munich, under the supervision of E.O. Fischer.<br />He then worked as a postdoctoral researcher with W.S. Johnson at Stanford University. From 1982 to 1994 he held a chair in inorganic chemistry at the University of Würzburg, as well as various positions at the Fraunhofer Institute of Silicate Research in Würzburg from 1989 to 1994. His research interests are centered around application-oriented fundamental research on solgel processes and inorganic-organic hybrid materials.</p>

The combined results from an international research project involving 40 interdisciplinary groups, providing the latest knowledge from the past few years. Adopting an application-oriented approach, this handy reference is a must-have for every silicon chemist, whether working inorganic, organic, physical or polymer chemistry, materials science or physics. <p>From the Contents:</p> <p>Investigations on the Reactivity of Atomic Silicon Reactions with Matrix Isolates SiO Molecules <i>In situ-</i>Diagnostics of Amorphous Silicon Thin Film Deposition the Gas Phase Oxidation of Silyl Radicals by Molecular Oxygen Oxidation of matrix-Isolated Silylenes Short-Lived Intermediates with Double Bonds to Silicon Kinetic Stabilization of Disilenes and Disilynes A Tetrasilabuta-I,3-diene and related Compounds with Conjugated Multiple Bonds Chemistry of Metalated Oligosilanes Oligosilyl Substituted Heptaphosphanes Polysilanes: Formation, bonding and Structure Phase Behavior of n-Alkylsubstituted Polysilanes Structural and Electronic Systematic in Zintl Phases of the Tetrels Zintl Phases MSi₂ (M=Ca, Eu, Sr, Ba) at Very High Pressure Silicon-and Germanium-Based Sheet Polymers and Zintl Phases Kautsky-Siloxene Analogous Monomers and Oligomers Silicon-Based Nanotubes Structure and Reactivity of Solid SiO Si Nanocrystallites in SiO_x Films by Vapour Deposition and Thermal Processing Theoretical Treatment of Silicon Clusters Isomers of Neutral Silicon clusters Investigation of the Influence of Oxidation and HF Attack on the Photoluminescence of Silicon Nanoparticles Localization Phenomena and Photoluminescence from Nano-structured Silicon, Silicon/Silicon Dioxide Nanocomposites, Silsesquioxanes and Branched Polysilanes Higher-Coordinate Silicon Compounds with SiO₅ and SiO₆ Skeletons Functionalized Silanols and Silanolates Transition Metal Fragment Substituted Silanols of Iron and Tungsten-Synthesis, Structure and Condensation Reactions Rational Synthesis of Cyclosiloxanes and Molecular Alumo- and Gallosiloxanes Synthesis Structure and reactivity of Novel oligomeric Titanasiloxanes Metallasilsesquioxanes g Spin-Spin Interaction in Silsesquioxanes and Transition Metal Substitution Characterization of Si-Polymers by Coupling of HPLC-Separation Methods with MALDI-TOF-MS the Stepwise3 Formation of Si-O-Networks Mechanism of Ring and Cage Formation in Siloxanes Structurally Well-Defined Amphiphilic Polysiloxane Copolymers Synthesis and Functionalization of  Mesostructured Silica-Based Films Modification of  ordered Mesostructured Materials during Synthesis Biosilicification; Structure, Regulation of Structure and Model Studies</p>
